Hope

Chocolate and Hollyhock -- those are the colors in this "hope" card made by random stamping and using the "Hope and Help for Japan" stamp set from Close To My Heart.

While visiting in Ohio, Mom and I enjoyed a Sunday afternoon creative time with my upline, dear Deb Butler, whose card design this is.

Opaque pearls accent the card. Inside I stamped the sentiment, "I'm praying for you." I'll send it to one of my friends who is undergoing chemo treatments.

We've been so busy since getting home, helping with the painting and house renovations, that we've hardly had time to unpack and do laundry. I'm glad I had to find a clean shirt, because in looking through my luggage, I found this card right where I had packed it!

As I write, I wish that CTMH would come out with a Hope and Help stamp set or special creative kit for Katrina victims and for the 2011 tornado victims too!

Find rest, O my soul, in God alone;

my hope comes from Him. Psalm 62:5
